Wiretaps and the Courts

| 1 Comment

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday said a secret court had limited the ability of investigators to coordinate surveillance against terrorism suspects and announced plans to appeal the ruling.

Is it just me or is everyone so happy that the Justice Department had limitations put on it that nobody is remembering that the entire decision took place in a "secret court"... I remember being taught in Politics & Government, in high school, that secret courts were "bad", and only fascist regimes made use of them.

Oh yeah, I forgot, that's what we live in now.

Actually, what the court fonud was that the FBI and JD had lied/falsified evidence on 75 occasions to gain approval. And for that reason, refused to "take their word for it" when asked to approve spying on Citizens.

What scares me more than the trampling of civil rights this Admin is partaking in is the willingness of the People to go along with it.
